[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 525219, member: 2232"] A) Point is he made a big error with the backup QB project, and it's cost us a season. A2) Alteriar motive is that there are still some fans who refuse to admit any mistakes made. B) What missteps? I don't pounce over everything. I just think that having just 3 of 51 guys who have any experience in the NFL with any other team, with 13 being the next lowest, that's pretty odd. I've thought we needed veteran presence, leadership, experience back at safety, and clearly at backup QB. If Rodgers goes down for a season, it doesn't matter. But we always have worried about who can handle a few games if Rodgers goes down for a few games, and having a veteran who can at least know what he's doing is better than having a guy with possible potential who can use a bunch of games to see what he might, perhaps, have. We're losing games because of that. Games count too much. C) My motive is just to hear the TT-lovers admit that this was a serious mistake of philosophy at backup QB, which has backfired, and which is the clear primary reason we have lost 3 straight games since Arod went down. If TT's team really was as talented as his lovers have been saying it was, we wouldn't have lost 3 straight games to once-inferior teams. This was supposed to be the easy part of our schedule. Remember, when Tom Brady went down with the torn ACL in 2008 game one, Matt Cassel went 11-4 as a starter.... this guy was still available, and we have had plenty of cap space this season. He won his first start this year, on a terrible Vikings club. Whatever option you want to rip, hypothetically, it can't be any worse than 0-3. That's the reality. [/QUOTE]
